The Veterans King Mackerel Fishing Tournament is to help bring attention to what our Active Duty and Veterans live with daily. We take freedom for granted but these people are the reason why we are lucky enough to live as we do. Some of our Veterans and Active Duty personnel need our help. I hope to obtain the media and public spotlight on the problems that many have and help get the means to correct them. All proceeds made during this fishing event will be divided equally between the different Morale Welfare Recreation groups and veterans charities. This tournament is open to the public. I am asking for at least a $50.00 per boat entry fee. We will award prizes in the King Mackerel, Spanish mackerel and Spot Tail Bass categories. I am also asking participating boats to think about taking an Active Duty or Veteran out on the water with them to fish. These boats will be competing for a plaque in any of the three categories. This is my way of giving back a little something and to thank the Active Duty and Veterans for what they are doing and what they have done. Regards Todd Knight
